Stem Cell Transplant If In Remission Do You Still Need Transplant?
Please read the Dana-Farber Dec Press Release.
They now state - Keep the SCT in Reserve.
After years of observation of people who had a SCT, they realized it causes too much damage to the Bone Marrow Microbiome - resulting in more Infections and of a more Serious Nature.
I've read to Determination Trial Case Study. Their original 2018 Press was based Only the Worst Case Responders. Even the for Worst Responders - If they did not get a SCT, they had a better Overall Survival Rate.
In 2021, I was Stage 2, 5915 IgA and one high Risk of t4;14.
No Stem Cell Collection, No SCT, No Cancer.
I get quarterly blood sample clonoSEQ MRD Tests.
I remain Negative at 10 -6 (none per million).
I'm on No MM Maintenance Meds.
Very importantly, I've changed to a Whole Food Plant Based Diet.
My Labs are absolutely their best in Decades.
Before MM - I had been Pre-fatty Liver - No more.
I had been Pre-diabetic - No more.
Life Style Diet and very routine Exercise allows our body to heal.
